Hong Kong's AI anti-drug video draws criticism for alleged appeal

Hong Kong's Correctional Services Department has drawn criticism for an AI-generated anti-drug video released on June 26. The video, intended to mark the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, is reportedly facing backlash from the public. Critics suggest that the digital content inadvertently presented illicit substances in an appealing manner, contrary to its intended message. The controversy highlights challenges in using artificial intelligence for public awareness campaigns, particularly when dealing with sensitive topics like drug prevention. Authorities have not yet commented on the public's reaction to the video's portrayal of drugs.
